Frequently Asked Questions
Why Pressure Wash?
Pressure washing and soft washing allows you to add value to your property, improve curb appeal, and extend the life of your siding, decks, brick, concrete, fences and gutters for relatively low costs. Just like washing your car or cutting your grass, regular washing of your home, property, and walkways will keep your property looking new for years to come. Most people don't think of power washing as a necessary service, but you would be surprised how many homeowners believe that they should repaint or replace their siding, gutters, decks or fences when all they really need is a premium, thorough wash. Especially living on Long Island, the salt air from the Long Island Sound or the Atlantic Ocean causes all kinds of accelerated wear and tear on exterior surfaces. If you live in Nassau or Suffolk county and have not had your home washed within the last 2 years, you should consider giving us a call.
What Makes PowerClean Long Island Different?
For one thing, we use customized concentrations of cleaning solution to pre-treat and post-treat different areas of your property. Depending on the area around your home, the materials we are cleaning, and the level of soiling, PowerClean Long Island will adjust the strength of our proprietary cleaning solutions to lift stains in just a matter of minutes. Each type of dirt, grease, rust, mildew, moss, or general discoloration requires a different mix of cleaning products to safely and effectively treat your home.
We also use the best pressure washing pumps, hoses, and a variety of nozzles to ensure the right flow of water is coming in contact with your surfaces to clean without damaging your home. We use professional grade tools and equipment to efficiently get the job done in a fraction of the time of our competitors.
Should I pressure wash my Long Island home each year?
Seasonal pressure washing is a great best practice to maintain the luster of your house's materials. We recommend pressure washing at least every two years, but depending on your home's exposure to salt, sun, wind, and exposure, you may find that unsightly stains appear more frequently in troublesome areas. Many home owners see more algae growth on north facing surfaces for example. Vinyl fencing may need to be cleaned regularly to help keep surfaces looking white after a single season.
Should I power wash my deck or home myself?
We always recommend using a professional service like PowerClean if you are trying to get the most thorough cleaning for your home. Not only do we have specific chemicals that work quickly and safely on dirt and stains, but the power of our professional pressure washing equipment is leagues beyond what you can buy or rent at your local Home Depot. From the gallons per minute of water to the pounds per square inch, we offer professional equipment designed specifically to safely and evenly clean your home siding, sidewalks, surfaces, and roof.
